Got me thinking too. I could cut the triangle shaped piece from its base with a grinder zip blade and slide it down a couple inches. There is room on the engine side to do that. And moving it down at the roughly 45 degree angle 2 inches should give me an inch drop, I think.. Which is the thickness of my compressed insulator.

Then drill a new hole further inboard on the top plate centered on the new location of the insulator, mock it up in position with the insulator bolt tightened down and tack the lower halves back together. Then remove and disassemble to finish weld and trim the outer top plate edge then having excess outer dimensions, paint it and put it back on.

That could work. A lot of monkey business, but it would have to fit being built in place... Probably take less time than I have spent online looking at other alternatives.....
